Man, last night was so fucking great, right up until I fell asleep. Apparently, hockey games make for great fucking dates. Who knew? The Ducks kicked the Star's ass, too. Now I'm going to have to find a copy of The Mighty Ducks for Chris to watch. Too bad Blockbuster isn't a thing anymore.

Too bad I had to finish the night by having another fucking Dream. I have seen way too many bodies that were half-eaten by animals lately. Ugh I'm going to be sick. This hangover is not helping.

I always thought parents were suppose to be the supportive type. You know, the kind that tell their kids they can do whatever they set their minds to and that they can be whatever they want to be. It seems my parents are the 1% in that area, both real and dream like.

I know they're just trying to protect me, want me to be safe, but telling your kid to settle?

Well with the sun back in place thank goodness, besides the random snow (?) in 80* weather, things appear back to as normal as they get here. Also for concerns about the water, rest assured it has been tested and shows no signs of contamination or poison and is again drinkable/useable.

It's not every day that I get hired by the same couple, each to find out if the other is cheating on them.

Probably a total cliche, and I tend not to take these kinds of jobs for this reason, but it's highly amusing that they're both so concerned they'll hire a private investigator rather than just talk to one another.

A friend at the PD asked if she could swap shifts with me on Halloween. She wants to go to her daughter's Halloween Costume Parade at her elementary school, so she's taking my night shift and I'm getting her day shift.

I attended my mother's book club this afternoon on my way home from work, and I'm not sure I really fit in with the other members. Besides, I should probably find a book club that isn't encroaching on my mother's 'territory'... does anyone know of one that's accepting new members? Or does anyone have any recommendations?

Sorry to those who do the sparkling latte whosits (I'm still not certain what that is, or even what a latte itself is - that's not quite how we drink our coffee in Northern Ireland) but it appears you're going to be up against some stiff competition soon here. I'll bet my next paycheque that my sister will want ten of these.

At any rate, managed to give away the Shears of Destiny - to its somewhat rightful owner, at least. Now I just need to hold a yard sale for all the other junk I've received. Like a heavy black cloak from my Dark One days or a sand dollar from Neverland - they can send or receive holographic messages, which seems quite advanced for a medieval era but magic is always ahead of its time, isn't it? Though it seems kind of moot here anyway, what with the invention of mobile phones now.

Why does every suburbanite housewife that comes to my salon always want to hear about the future of her love life? I don't have to be a psychic to predict how the sessions are gonna go when one of them walks in. It's almost like they're reading from the same script. It's nuts. I saw two of them today and they both worried about the exact same things. I think that there's a metaphysical cookie cutter out there somewhere for these people.

I swear to god, if those assholes who are building a condo next to my apartment wake me by blasting Lady Gaga or whatever shitty ass pop star it is at six in the morning one more time, I'm going to go out there and arrest every single one of them for disturbing the peace.

Maybe it's time I move into a bigger place anyway. I wrote my Sergeants exam the other day, so with any luck I might get a promotion soon.

Hey, so uh...looking for suggestions of someplace fairly local-ish to take my girlfriend over Valentines weekend. And when I say local I don't mean just around the LA area, but USA area. And I'm vetoing Vegas right off the bat, don't really think it's her thing.

My mum has decided that she wants to help out with any baby showers I may have, which means none are going to take place until they come to visit. I also don't want to put up my parents in our place for a long period of time. Although, I guess they could stay with my Aunt and everything would be fine because my mum will just end up breathing down my neck the whole time.

I can't believe January is almost over. March can't come soon enough. I'm also getting real sick of the lack of sleep I'm getting - this child is a tiny gymnast.

I had my very first rehearsal dancing the role of Hermia today and I realized I didn't post anything after the cast list was put up! It's not the most prominent role, but it's a significant role in the ballet and the choreography is amazing. I'm personally just happy to be in the ballet. It'll be nothing but rehearsal until April. Maybe I'll sneak in a break here and there.

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when we finally found the Director, but that sure as hell wasn't it. The parallels between the dream and the real world sometimes make me wonder. There's still a lot of wrong to make right, but I think dream me has finally learned to let things go.

I went to see my massage therapist today. It was glorious in the moment, but now my muscles are at the point where they've been smushed around and don't know what to do. So they've resorted to soreness.

30 weeks today, which means this pregnancy is so close to being over. I'm thrilled. Don't get me wrong, it's not completely horrible, but I can't wait to be back to a normal size and not wobbling around every where.

And since this slipped my brain thanks to the baby - I wanted to let everyone know that Steve and I are engaged. Nothing has really been planned yet due to the pregnancy, but you never know what could happen when I'm sitting around on maternity leave or if I get stuck on bed rest. But it's at least a good start to a new year that will be full of life changes.

Reports are coming in about Christmas Decorations attacking their owners. If this is happening in your home, please contact the Agency. We will do our best to help you with your situation.

I boxed everything up the first mention of it and put all our decorations up into the crawl space. With the boxes thoroughly duct-taped shut. So far we haven't had any problems. This may work for other people, too.

If you have any old winter clothes, or blankets that you aren't using we're taking donations down at the recruiting office I work for. We'll be taking them as we get them to one of the local soup kitchens for them to hand out. There's a lot of people out there in this snowy weather that don't have the proper clothes, and it's unfortunate.

Wow. I can't believe today marks 20 weeks and the halfway point through my pregnancy. That's insane to me.

But on the plus side, we figured out that we are having a little GIRL.

Baby Freedom will have her father wrapped around her finger in no time and learn to kick arse like her mum. I'm just thrilled to know because my parents have been bothering me for ages wanting to know and it makes it easier to buy things. Plus, ya know, horrible with surprises.

Nov. 2nd, 2016

I am not looking forward to the glucose screening test I have scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm also not looking forward to not getting to eat breakfast tomorrow morning either. Hopefully things will be normal and I won't have to have the three hour long test.

Nothing new in dreamland, thankfully enough. I'm curious though as to what's going on with the monster that's been chasing Sherry. I have a theory on who it might be, but I'm not exactly 100% sure yet on that. I guess we'll see once the dreams continue on for me.

Viv made the best little bee ever. She went Trick-or-Treating to family and some friends, but that was about it. We wanted to minimize our chances for a meltdown, so we made it an early night. Now she's out cold in her bedroom, bless her. And I've put on Beetlejuice. It's not *exactly* a Halloween film, but close enough. ;)

Just out of curiosity, has anyone on this Network ever had a Dream (capital D dream) outside of Orange County? While on vacation, perhaps, or a business trip? I never have, though I've been away from the County several times since I started Dreaming.

Oct. 6th, 2016

I've been given the okay to announce this finally, and I gotta tell you folks I'm real damn excited to be able to do so. It's been real hard not to shout it from the rooftops, and I may have pushed a little hard to tell our friends and family a bit early. Now, however, we both feel it's safe to let everyone else know.

Peggy's pregnant, 15 weeks along right now, and I couldn't be happier. Another week until we might be able to find out what the sex of the baby is, but for right now? It doesn't matter to me. I'll be happy either way just as long as Peggy and the baby are both happy and healthy. That's all that matters to me.

Apparently it didn't take long at all for me to start dreaming again. I'd forgotten what they were like, almost. I'll admit, it's sort of fun to be off doing my own little mission. Posing as a Spanish sympathizer and befriending a woman who claims to have visions from God. Though just as I woke up, Constance arrived and brought the Queen with her, so I'm certain everything will come undone quite quickly.

Sep. 8th, 2016

I've just now realized I haven't announced my return to the county. As if I could stay away for long while all the excitement was happening here. Hopefully it'll be as if I never left, and of course once Porthos gets here we'll have a party for old and new friends.

So, there are upsides and down sides to maternity leave. One downside is the almost self imposed isolation, I mean really he's almost two months old and I'm still making a production about possibly taking him outside, despite the fact that he's totally ready for it. Apparently, Orange County has made me paranoid and I really have to pack almost everything to take out on little trips.

It's been eighteen months since the last time I had a new Dream. But last night I Dreamed I was stationed in Berlin. The sensation is really weird. The feeling of the loss of control. In the Dreams I can't decide where I am or what I'm doing, and I don't know what's going to happen next. It's strange. Waking up from that with a new set of memories?

Jun. 28th, 2016

Okay, you know how certain pregnant ladies get that whole stereotype of crabby and fussy and just plain annoyed all the time? There's a reason for it. Sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation and a lazy baby who is officially past due to come into the world.

None of the methods work, I'm not past due enough to induce and I haven't slept longer than three hours at a time in the last four nights. And if one more happy smiley person touches my belly and asks questions I will zap them!

Two more shows! Tonight's and tomorrow night's and then I'm done performing at UCLA! It's kind of exciting. The end of an era. I sort of hope everything goes well with Anaheim, but if it doesn't there are auditions for that contemporary company that expressed interest in August. I hope some of you have gotten a chance to see the show. I've had a lot of fun performing as Alice. I totally get what my instructor meant when she said that Alice was a role that would require some acting as well as dancing. There's a lot that goes into this ballet. It's different from when I danced Giselle. A lot different. Of course, Giselle was a heck of a lot more tragic than Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Okay, there's only so long I can spend in a hotel before I feel silly.

Are there any places around here that do short-term leasing? I'm really not looking to go through Craigslist and wade through the crazy people, but I can't stand living out of a suitcase for much longer.

May. 11th, 2016

Okay, since I'm officially under house arrest and my car keys have been stolen (not like I can fit behind the wheel anymore anyway), I need some help.

Netflix suggestions. I'm going cross-eyed reading and movement isn't all that great an idea, so I need something to rot my brain. Nothing overly long, I've got two months before free time will be a long forgotten memory, but I need some stuff to watch.
